jonn's 65 gt coupe restoration

Post by jonn »

Hi Everyone,

This is my 65 GT Coupe that I purchased in 2008.

Even though all of the rust repair is now complete, I thought it was worthwhile to show where I started and a brief glimpse of the last 2 years.


regards
Jon

Progress has been slow, got most of the interior primed. Currently sorting out the seam sealer and then I’ll get some colour on the inside of the firewall and the floor.

While it's still some time before I'm assembling, I've started to prep my parts.

Got my leaf springs cleaned and finished with phosphate and oil finish. I've replaced the anti squeak pads and will be fitting new front bushes and spring clamps.

Latest photos for my build.

Slowly progressing, the cabin floor, firewall to the parcel shelf and the engine bay has been painted.

Hi Chris,

I agree 100%, yes its a lot of work and except for a couple of moments, its been quite satisfying.
